Microsoft reveals giant Black Friday sales

To get fans ready for the holidays, Microsoft is planning two rounds of great gaming sales. If anyone has been procrastinating on picking up a new console or game, this would be the time to follow through.

From November 20th to the 23rd, those who want to shop early can get their hands on a 1TB Xbox One or Xbox One S for $50 less than usual, making it $249. This is a steal for a console capable of playing games and Blu-rays in 4K Ultra HD.

November 24th to the 28th is the official Black Friday sale, which will include all kinds of goodies. All Xbox One S bundles will include the sale price for the console, leading to some great savings. Xbox Gold members will get an extra 10% off in the sale, with the sale itself offering $10 off Gold membership at certain retailers.

Fans will be able to pick up a cheaper Gears of War bundle, including Gears of War 4 and the Gears Xbox 360 Collection, along with many movies. They can also get to get their hands on some Windows 10 games, including Ori and the Blind Forest, Batman: The Telltale Series, and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Those in need of a controller will get free engraving when they create their own with the Xbox Design Lab between the 24th and the 28th. It makes a great gift to your favorite gamer, or anyone who might need theirs labelled for safe keeping.

Fans are urged to see the full range of Black Friday deals on the Xbox and Microsoft websites.
